Re: [Kicad-developers] Poll: how does autocomplete filter?

Huh, appears things are pretty uniform.  I wonder where the Scintilla folks 
came up with their model?

Anyway, thanks.  I’ll bend the Scintilla engine to our wishes. ;)

Cheers,
Jeff.

I am used to autocomplete tools only showing those that match the current
search query. That would also be consistent with the way our hotkey search
control matches when typed as well.

Re: [Kicad-developers] Poll: how does autocomplete filter?

[Jon Evans]

I am used to, and like better, always placing the best match on top
and removing things that don't match at all.

This is the behavior of most modern text editors and IDEs I've used.

[snip]> Which is more common?  Which are you used to?  Which do you like better?

I don't recall seeing a case of menu entries being highlighted as I type. 
I'm used to seeing a filtered list that only has the possible entries based 
on what I have typed in.
